Xbox Series X Pre order- Pay with microsoft account balance?

Hi there, I just wanted to know if it's possible to pre-order the Xbox Series X console using my Microsoft account balance or do I strictly have to use a credit/debit card.

They've been charging for orders the past few days, so they may have already sent the charge to your card which is why it no longer gives the option to change your payment option.

I bought the game stop pre order tgat turned out to be just $30. I then went to the Destiny Rise of Iron page on Microsoft Store the pre order button was greed out. I then logged in when I did it turned blue and was able to click on it to order. I didn't
order it but went an redeemed my gamestop code for the $30 to deposit my money once it was in my Microsoft account I went back to the pre order and selected to use my account balance which it did.

So make sure you redeem your gamestop code into your Microsoft account then go to or put in the search are destiny rise of iron pre order. You must select the one for pre order. If you select just the rise of iron it will take you to a different page tgat
says bundle only. Once at the pre order if logged in and you have the other content for the game on x box one not 360 as its not available for it, the pre order button will be blue to click on and pay for by you account balance or with credit card.

HI,

Their will be pre-orders for the new Xbox Series X. The online orders start on the 22nd (Tuesday) September 2020 ..

I had the option to use ny Microsoft account balance at the point of pre-order, and it even states under the payment options that account balance can be used and is the only payment method charged immediately for pre-orders.

Our problem is changing the amount of balance taken after the order is in place.

Microsoft and Xbox gift cards now go to the same account balance too. They're interchangeable.

At least, in my frequent experiences in the UK.
